friday

Friday morning, much to her great surprise, Rose Marie got asked out on a date. Ana's friend Rush, who she'd met at karaoke on Wednesday, asked her out by text. Well, by two texts, since the first one was a (short) explanation of who he was and that Ana said it was ok if he texted or called. The second text was the actual invite - "Got tix for Red Sox tonite, wanna come with?" But since she wasn't allowed to have her phone on while she was at work, or at least not while she was sitting at the front desk theoretically doing her job, Rose Marie didn't get either text until she went out for lunch. And then she called Ana.

Ana was also not allowed to have her phone on while she was at work, although she was usually behind the counter making coffee drinks or assembling sandwiches, and her phone was locked in a locker, so even if she did leave it on she wouldn't be able to answer it. So they played a very brief game of phone tag, until Ana checked her phone during her break and called Rose Marie on the office line.

( What did you tell him? Rose Marie demanded )
